Not the best of nights

Sounds like Stanthorpe. We were having lunch at one of the local cafes and my father in law asked to have his burger buns toasted He was told they couldn't do it but directly behind the waitress was a bun toaster, toasting something. You gotta wonder.

You guys should be heading to real banjo country. Drake, Tabulum, Urbanville, or Woodenbong. 
 
Hmmm... only ever drunk beer there, because we normally eat up at our mate's place on the top of Mount Nullum about 2 miles back towards Murwillumbah.  Not reviews that you would want to be proud of if you were the owner of the Mount Warning Hotel though, so if we were to go there it could only be for beer or two...

Oh well, there is always the pub at Tumbulgum for a starter (www.tumbulgumtavern.com.au) followed by main course at Hotel Brunswick (www.hotelbrunswick.com.au), which I'm sure you blokes go to anyway when out for a ride south of the border - might be some good live music on if the timing is right. As I am in your neck of the woods it would be rude of me to try to push my luncheon ideas upon anyone, but my ideal would be to pick up the bike from Red and Maxene's place on a weekend morning, catch up with any CLQ members who fancy a ride, drink and a feed ending up in the Tweed/Byron area, then I'd spend the night on Mount Nullum at Uki (or with another friend at Open Sores Ocean Shores) and head home the next day, probably stopping off at Scotts Head - excellent local produce, with a perfectly good bowling club and beach within walking distance of the camping park.  Leave there in the morning early and head down to Legends Cafe at Kew (www.legendscafe.com.au) for the savoury mince on toast for breakfast, home by early afternoon.  Anyone who wants to do the trip down to Sydney with me has their own bedroom at our place in Avalon and the chance of a boat ride up the river the next day to the Angler's Rest Hotel (www.anglersrestaurant.com.au) at the Hawkesbury Bridge to sample the Toohey's Old on tap and maybe a sample of beer and Oysters Kilpatrick at the Patonga Beach Hotel (www.patongahotel.com) on the way back to Pittwater.

Oh OK then, Mark - put that one on the list as well (www.tyalgumhotel.com.au) - looks like they have VB, Old and New on tap.  Why you are there, might as well throw in the Ulmarra Pub on the banks of the mighty Clarence River as well (www.ulmarrahotel.com.au) - got a lovely beer garden out the back and I usually stop there for a middy when driving past. 

Sounds like I might be staying a couple of nights to fit all of this in and then leaving South on the Tuesday..

Hey dickheads, seens as its my neck of the woods how about you listen to me

Ill organise a ride, cause its my track, we'll have a couple along the way

Then we'll go back to my place where the accomodation is good and the food will be exceptional

Just need a bit of notice to organise the mudcrabs

got it? its settled then

get ya fucking bike up to Reds
 
So where do I send my $25 membership to... if I'm going to be riding a bike that has had Queensland fingers all through it at the end of this, I should do the right thing...

Ian has kindly offered to take the Mirage back up to Red's after Wakefield in a couple of weeks - just waiting to see if timing works out OK for Red with regards to room.

If im not busy id be in for the ride down, but we dont do highway fella, we have an alternate route, which takes the same amount of time but has minimal cops, maximum twisties and well adventure to be had, and we can be in AV by pretty much the same time, and i can visit a few of me mates, looks like ill need a week  :) at least

Hell we might even be able to organise a CLQ escort, no not what your thinkin
 
Hey Yogi,

If you heading north and want to break up the trip Give me a PM and stop over here.
We are in Bellingen ( only about half hour of either route) which is about half way to the Redax shed.

Cheers
Bruce

Hmmm... wonder how upstairs is looking...

Many thanks to Mark and Red for looking after this for me - how lucky I am to have them close at hand.  Sitting up here at Surfers Paradise waiting with baited breath for the outcome..

So is it Jack, Austin Nicholl's Wild Turkey 101 or Booker's, fellas?
